towertalk@contesting.comTalk to the guys that repair them for a living, just
like one would research a carSuggest you contact Norms and C.A.T.S. , a Google
search should lead you to themlet them tell you how wonderful the Yaesu
rotators are to repair and that may guide you A small prop pitch would be the
